Know the difference between God and a pilot? God doesn't think he's a pilot.
Happened to be in the MOC when a gunship pilot walked in and started looking at the board. He asked the controller why the inop ASH receiver hadn't be addressed. The controller asked, "Captain, do you smoke?" "No," he replied." "Then why do you care if the ashtray is broken?" This was about 35 years ago, so I no longer recall what ASH really meant, but the captain left so mission accomplished.
And you didn't get one for yourself?
How else are you going to stay young?
Gotta get a dump truck or something else for yourself. He's going to need someone to get in the dirt and play with him.

A Proclamation
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and even soften the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and provoke their aggressions, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore.
Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.
And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stated States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

It’s new. I couldn’t find a nice affordable older road grader.
He has the dump truck and the loader already. His Bday is Dec 6 so although he’ll be 2, it’ll be his 3rd Christmas. The Loader was an original from the 80s, the dump truck is from early 2000s.
These game show skits hosted by Kenan Thompson have actually been pretty entertaining. Not holding my breath that SNL will ever be as funny as it used to be, but every now and then a gem is uncovered. 
^ this points to the fact that principles are not what divides people now, it’s “Identity”.
I havent either.
I searched my PMs as I once had his contact info.
Will re-search through them again and see if I just missed it.
A darn good guy.
I think it's the 'only' Thanksgiving song ever written...
Still the best!
"Exceptin' Alice..."

Ahh, back when I was young and stupid. I still like the song though, I'm just older now. (not necessarily any smarter, just older)
Next to the Superposed the A5 is my favorite shotgun. Couldn't count the number of quail I harvested with my Light 12. Just installed rebuild kits in my friends FN Light 12 and 3" magnum.
They feel weird when they fire. A lot of stuff moving around. The original one I shoot very well. The one with the buttpad kicks worse and I don’t shoot it as well. They messed up the angle on the back of the stock. I’m going to fix it so it’s square with the comb again and put a new pad on it.
These A5s will teach you to keep your head down too. If I pick my head up on the shot it punches me in the face. Worse than any other shotgun I own or have shot.
